Masboquera crag exploration

After a bit too much birthday wine last night we weren't exactly jumping out of bed to go climbing so opted for a little bit of late afternoon crag exploration down near Masboquera. After passing the vomit-inducing waste water pipe from the village we got down into the dry river bed where, amazingly, we found a few bolted lines.



Tash at the base of one of the awe-inspiring lines on the way to the main crag.
Yes, it really has been developed. 2 bolts and then the lower-off!



The main objective for the day: the crag near Masboquera that we'd seen on a previous exploratory day.



Up close it was as impressive as I'd thought, with some superb ~30m lines on very good quality rock. Sadly there was only one easy route following a crack line, with a couple of bolts in place at half-height presumably for a belay. Apart from that there was no sign of any development. Unfortunately actually getting onto the decent rock on the RH side looked like it'd be a challenge due to the lower ivy-covered wall up to the ledge - maybe the reason it hasn't been bolted?

Rock igloo on the road to Masriudoms. Finally got round to checking it out today.
